By the Wayside

"By The Wayside" is a landscape, showing a plain background of sky and grassland, with a few impressions of trees.

The middle ground is of an old stone wall (tactile), damaged and tumbledown in places by the weather; with hindsight, the texture of the wall could have been rendered to look more realistic to show a weather-beaten state.

The foreground shows a grassy area, with flower heads and fallen stones from the wall, with a track leading to a gap in the wall from a strip of tarmac at the very front of the painting.

When seen by a sighted person, she said this painting reminded her of the Kirkstall Pass in Yorkshire and the varnish shine on the black stone wall, made it look drizzly - a nice effect.
